## Frequently Asked Questions

### How long does it take to complete the Flyweel onboarding?

The onboarding process takes approximately 5 minutes: connect your ad platforms via OAuth, then fill in your profile details.

### What do I need before starting with Flyweel?

You need admin access to your advertising accounts (Google Ads or Meta Ads). That’s it — no email verification step is required; Flyweel uses magic link authentication.

### Can I skip the profile setup step?

Yes, you can come back to it later from your account settings.

### Can I connect multiple ad accounts from the same platform?

Yes, you can connect unlimited ad accounts for each supported platform, including Google Ads Manager (MCC) accounts that automatically include all sub-accounts.

### What happens after I connect my first platform?

Once you connect a platform, Flyweel begins syncing your campaign data and you’ll be directed to your dashboard.

### How quickly does Flyweel sync data from my advertising platforms?

After initial connection, data typically syncs within 2-15 minutes depending on account size, with ongoing updates every 4 hours.

### What should I do if my platform connection fails during onboarding?

Ensure you have admin access to the advertising account, check that popup blockers aren’t interfering with OAuth, and contact [team@flyweel.co](mailto:team@flyweel.co) if issues persist.
